Use the `dark_theme` key to define a static theme to apply when Firefox is using the dark color scheme. The `dark_theme` key uses the same syntax and supports the same image, color, and property objects as the `theme` key.

See the [`theme` key](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/theme) for more information.

- `colors/toolbar_text` is not used, use `colors/bookmark_text` instead.
- `images/theme_frame` anchors the image to the top left of the header and if the image doesn't fill the header area tile the image.
- all colors must be specified as an array of RGB values, like this:

```json
"theme": {
"colors": {
"frame": [255, 0, 0],
"tab_background_text": [0, 255, 0],
"bookmark_text": [0, 0, 255]
}
}
```

The array form and the CSS color form are accepted for all properties.

### Manifest changes

_No changes._
- Support added for the [`dark_theme` key](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/dark_theme). This key enables a static theme to define its looks when Firefox is using the dark color scheme ([Firefox bug 1525762](https://bugzil.la/1525762)).
